About this project

Binder is tool a for automatic generation of Python bindings for C++11 projects using Pybind11 and Clang LibTooling libraries.

Core features

Automatically determent which types/functions could be bound and generate bindings for the following C++ code:

• functions
• enums
• C++ classes and struct’s, including:

• read/write access to public data members, including static data members
• class member functions including static functions
• class inner enums
• class operators

• automatically determent which template classes should be instantiated and generate bindings for it
• generate single shared library which on Python-import act as collection of Python modules representing hierarchy of C++ namespaces
• generated bindings for both Python-2.6+ and Python-3+

Goodies

Bindings generation is guided thought config file which allows to configure:

• bindings for which namespace/type/function bindings should be generated
• default return policy for functions returning pointer, lvalue and rvalue references
• additional includes which should be added to generated code
• includes which should be ignored in generated codes
• specify custom bindings functions for type/template
• specify add-on bindings functions which will be called after automatic bindings was generated
